the end wasn't what I expected — it's thanks to my biased view on religion, though. John's father is an absolute scum on the earth, representing several religious "men of the house" who are utterly rotten and hide under the guise of being God's. I despise him deeply, and I hope Florence has, indeed, shown the letter at least to Elizabeth before dying. out of all characters, Richard was the best one. just like Elizabeth, I wish she had to him she was pregnant before he killed himself.
